So i had my first laser at my pubic area 30 days ago, and ever since that my vagina feels very itchy and few weeks after a pimple grow on it. Is it normal?

Warren B. Seiler III, MD · Answer

Thank you for your
question.  In regard to the itching, after a laser hair removal
treatment the hair that is in the hair follicle that has been treated, has been
injured.  Over the course of the next month to six weeks it will slowly
push it's way to the surface and fall out.  During this time it's not
unusual to have a little irritation and itching.  A hair may become
ingrown in the area as well.  If this occurs, it could present as a small
pimple or red spot.
If
any of this is concerning you it's always best to contact your laser hair
removal provider and let them see you for a follow up visit.
